  • Fair comment from a young person - and I am sure one that has only experienced life in the present Zimbabwe. Sadly, the Mugabe that you describe as 'liberating blacks from oppression' is the same man who has delivered those same good people into a far worse life situation than their formerly oppressed one. Your point on finding solutions is well made - there are many who have tried to help the old country - but the 'liberated people' remaining are the only ones who can help themselves now.

  • @y96609 what unfair taxes? You clearly know nothing. What about innocent tribesmen being slaughtered, tortured, maimed, and raped by the TERRORISTS? You know nothing boy. And we'll rather live in the past and remember what we built and had. Than accept what has happened to our beloved Rhodesia, yes its gone, but NEVER FORGOTTEN. The world cannot be allowed to forget what happened, and they must realise the mistakes they made. And hopefully out of Zimbabwe ruins will rise a new RHODESIA!!

  • @SCV1990

    Steady on guys... it looks like there is passion for their country on both sides!

    I think the 'old rhodies' are fooling themselves to believe the 'old country' will ever exist again. Likewise, todays youth in Zim will have to be honest some time and admit to the massive abuse thay have suffered at the hands of their new 'redeemers'. At the moment, the only ones scoring are the political and military chiefs - AND the Chinese... they are blatently stealing the land all over again!

  • you guys are crazy instead of joining new zimbabwe which was created 30 odd years ago ,you still living in the past,let me tell you we the youth of zimbabwe we are rebuilding our country .Remember that Rhodesia prospered by stealing from the blacks,unfair taxation you know it so shut the fuck up!

  • @y96609 Aye... would this be the same country that the Zulus stole off the San people at some stage? As I recall, the majority in the country that did not vote (ie. those whose country was stolen...) also contributed nothing tax-wise for the benefits they shared in of housing, food, health, education, transport and so on? I am pleased that you are rebuilding - it is the least you can do to make up for trashing what was the strongest economy in the sub-continent in the first place!

  • @MrZingy And I guess thats why public opinion in Zimbabwe, the UK, and the West is for Smith, because I mean hell Mugabe is so well liked. I mean he done so much for Zimbabwe, he's turned into worse economically than 1929 Germany. Stop trying to play your failed moral righteous card it failed long ago too against Smith.

  • Everything being said , people who are placing comments ur giving their opinions of the past,mugabe did this smith did that what are you doing to solve problems in zim nothing just talking.be objective wat problems are we to solve Ian smith was there to develop Zim that's true Mugabe was there for liberating blacks from oppression.I love my country at least i am at university so that when i come back and change some things that i can and not talk and talk .smell the coffee things have changed

  • @y96609 Rhodesia had far tougher sanctions imposed on it when it had a white government and who had years of experience at beating the sanctions, so it can be done what excuse does Mugabe have for failure when he had the most experienced people at busting the sanctions

  • @y96609 Sanctions were put on Rhodesia by UN way before Mugabe took control. I dont support any side but why were blacks fighting for Rhodesia if it was such a racist state? Mugabe is just some stupid commie. Back here we know what kind of beasts can commies be, they ruled in our land for 47 bloody years.

  • Every greedy corrupt warlord that has "taken back" a country from a colonial empire, has wrecked it . Its people are starving to death and are being slaughtered by the henchmen of these BARSTARDS. What a price to pay for so called freedom.

  • @msasauk I believe Mugabe is and will never be a heroe to you because of the land issue news flash for all your friends "the land reform was a necessary evil". About trashing the place it was partly the gvt and white farmers fault calling in for the sanctions through the Mdc .Even if you deny it its there and can show you proof So do not crucify us you were partly to blame.The good thing i like about your recent comment is that you are optimistic that we will rebuild our nation.Embrace the new.
